Paulo Sergio Lopes de Souza received a Bachelor in
Data Processing from the State University of Ponta Grossa-PR (UEPG) in 1990 and
an MSc in Mathematics and Computer Sciences from ICMC/USP in 1996, researching
on Parallel Virtual Machines. He received his PhD from IFSC/USP in 2000,
studying Process Scheduling in Distributed Memory MIMD platforms. Paulo Souza
was an Academic Visitor at the University of Southampton/UK (2010/2011),
working with Prof. Ed. Zaluska with testing of concurrent programs.
He was a lecturer at UEPG for 14
years (1991/2005), being head of the Department of Informatics in 1992/1993. He
works at the Computer Systems Department of the ICMC/USP at São Carlos since
2005, where he is now an Associate Professor at the Distributed Systems and
Concurrent Programming Laboratory (LASDPC). He is the supervisor of PhD,
Master, and Scientific Initiation students.
He teaches undergraduate and
graduate courses related to the organization and architecture of computers,
operating systems, high-performance computing, concurrent programming, computer
networks, and data structures. He received several honors for the courses given
to undergraduate students.
Paulo is responsible for research
and university extension projects. In academic administration, he acts in
leadership positions and several commissions. He is an Ad-Hoc reviewer for
research funding agencies, journals, and congresses. Paulo has already
organized different events in his research area and is the editor of special
editions in international journals.
He is a member of SBC (Brazilian
Computer Society), where he works in Computer Architecture and High-Performance
Processing, Computer Education, and Software Engineering (Software Testing). He
is also a member of the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery).
His
research activities focus on High-Performance Computing and mainly in
distributed and parallel applications. Research projects follow on two fronts.
The first one focuses on generating new technologies
to support efficient, correct, and inexpensive computer systems. On this front,
we develop methodologies for validation, verification, and testing of parallel
programs, techniques for developing new parallel applications, improvements in
computer systems' security, and performance evaluations in peer-to-peer
(blockchain) networks.
The second front of research aims to develop
educational resources and methodologies to train professionals with the
required skills and competencies to create high-performance computational
solutions aligned to the current multi and many-core systems. On this front, we
develop teaching methodologies and open educational resources for the
popularization of high-performance computing teaching in educational
institutions without adequate physical and human resources.
The publications, supervision of (under)graduate
students, research projects, and other academic activities are in my CNPq
Lattes CV. See also Google Scholar and MyResearcherID.
